This is a mechanism that should be used when elements of the same name are intended to represent the same concept, regardless of the Package in which they are defined. 

A merging Package will take elements of the same kind with the same name from one or more Packages and merge them together into a single element using Generalization and redefinitions. 

It should be noted that a PackageMerge can be viewed as a short-hand way of explicitly defining those Generalizations and redefinitions. The merged Packages are still available, and the elements in those Packages can be separately qualified.
